Lee Scratch Perry’s debut, ‘Musical Bones’, does not fit easily into one genre. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Lee Scratch Perry has. Musical Bones is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Lee Scratch Perry is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Music of Fly Away is gentle, never overbearing. The Message is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Within the first few notes of Licky-Licky it’s perfectly clear that Lee Scratch Perry is living this song. After about the third Labrish listen through, I began to believe this song is Lee Scratch Perry’s essence. Quinge-Up rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Raw-Chaw without a doubt is the standout song of Musical Bones. 5 Cardiff Crescent is a bit different from Lee Scratch Perry stereotypical stuff. Four Of A Kind is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Nah Go Run which is my favorite is a truly Lee Scratch Perry sounding song. Mek It Soon makes a person feel marvelous. I’ve found myself listening to Bredda’s Dub back to back and back many times. Matches Lane Affair is worth the money. Music and lyrics of A Wise Dub creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming.
